@metronetfiber I appreciate that. But, I'm just looking for a time range as to when my service will be restored. There is an automated message on hold, saying there is an outage. I don't have the ability to sit on hold for 25+ minutes.

@metronetfiber what's the time-line for restoration for the current outage? In mid-Michigan, I've been without your service for over am hour. Been on hold for almost 25 minutes of it.

Hey, @Walgreens, corporate should probably send a memo to the store pharmacies stating that they can give the booster to 5-11 yr olds, like your website says they can.

@Nick_Craver I got name dropped in a meeting as someone who always asks of business people, "that's all good, but what are you trying to solve? What do you want?".

I don’t care how much you love your users. Do not trust their data input. Ever.

I have got to say, @altonbrown makes a kick-ass monitor stand. I went with the gen3 model, it's been rock stable for all of quarantaine.

Today the world has probably lost 3 of the most beautiful stained glass windows ever made:
- The west Rose window (1225).
- The North rose window (1250).
- The South rose window (1250).
